Moving On
4 months ago
Hi there,
I’m still coming to terms with this, but it’s been hard to be let down again by someone I met through the furry community. It hurts to see my kindness and gratitude taken advantage of, but I also see now that my own trust in people can sometimes be misplaced. Unfortunately, you can’t always know who to trust, and I’m coming to terms with that.
I had befriended, and hoped to grow closer with, Charlie/Vince (a member here on FA who I met through Discord). We were friends at first, and I was clear that I was married and only seeking an open relationship. I mentioned this many times, and I also supported Charlie financially, commissioning music and other work from him (which has now been deleted from Telegram).
Recently, we had a falling out during an argument about politics. I’ve been outspoken about the war in Gaza and Black Lives Matter, and it was painful to feel like Charlie was working against me or not understanding where I was coming from, especially as he remained friends with people who have harassed and bullied me in the past.
In the end, I think Charlie didn’t truly like me, but accepted my calls and financial support while offering silence in return. I still have some of his belongings to return, but I’m left wondering what he ever saw in me if he was going to lie throughout our interactions.
This is part of why I’m going strong with my “Furries Hate Me” comic—because it often feels like there’s a concerted effort against me for reasons I may never fully understand. I’ve tried to be kind and generous, but this is what I’ve received in return.
Charlie, if you read this, I’m sorry it ended like this. I’m sorry it affected our mutual friendships with AJ and Sheer, leaving us all with bitter feelings.
I am closing comments on this post, and I will be removing all gift art of him from this page, leaving this gallery solely for my art and personal projects moving forward.
Take care.
